Springsteen, 75, and his E Street Band are in the UK as part of his Land of Hope and Dreams Tour, which kicked off with three shows in Manchester last month.

Footage shared on social media showed the surprised crowd cheering loudly as Sir Paul was introduced, before he then playfully pointed at Springsteen and the pair shared an embrace.
Before he left the stage after their performance, Sir Paul addressed the crowd and reportedly said: 'Thank you, Scousers.'
The two men have previously performed together on several occasions, most notably when Sir Paul delivered a headline set at Glastonbury in 2022.
Announced as a surprise all the way from the east coast of America, Springsteen joined Sir Paul, who became the festival's oldest solo headliner, as they played hits Glory Days and I Wanna Be Your Man on the Pyramid Stage.
In 2012, Sir Paul had joined Springsteen on stage at the end of the singer's headline slot at Hard Rock Calling in Hyde Park, London, but both stars found their microphones cut off before they could address the crowds after exceeding the curfew.
Beginning his career in the 1960s, Springsteen has gone on to have 12 UK top 10 albums and four UK top 10 singles and is best known for songs such as Born In The USA, Dancing In The Dark and Born To Run.
His Land of Hope and Dreams Tour, which includes 16 dates across six European countries, will conclude in Milan, Italy, on July 3.

Here's How To (Pre) Pre-Order Taylor Swift's New Album The Life Of A Showgirl
Taylor Swift fans don't have too long to wait until her next album, after the singer dropped some unexpected news. She revealed that her new record, The Life Of A Showgirl, is available for 'pre pre-order', although the release date has yet to be revealed. Taylor, 35, made the surprise announcement on the New Heights podcast, hosted by her American football player boyfriend Travis Kelce and his brother Jason. 'So I wanted to show you something,' she said, holding up a vinyl album with its cover blurred. 'This is my brand new album The Life Of A Showgirl.' Travis exclaimed, 'TS12!' The Life Of A Showgirl is the Grammy-winning singer's follow-up to The Tortured Poets Department, which sold 1.4 million copies on its first day in the US when it was released in 2024. It comes after Taylor – whose Eras tour broke records after becoming the highest grossing tour of all time and was the first to surpass $1 and $2 billion in revenue – bought the master recordings of her first six albums in May, giving her full control of all of her music after a six-year dispute with her former record label. You can pre pre-order The Life Of A Showgirl on Taylor Swift's website. It is available in CD with a poster (£11.99), cassette (£16.99) and vinyl (£29.99). The album artwork and official release date will be revealed at a later date, although the website says that it will ship before 13 October, adding that this is not the release date. Taylor Swift ©Erika Goldring/TAS24/Getty Images for TAS Rights Management Taylor Swift started hinting at new music in September 2024, five months after the release of The Tortured Poets Department, when she wore a necklace bearing her initials with the number 12. After concluding the Eras tour in December 2024, she continued to keep fans guessing about her next studio album, which was dubbed 'TS12'. The pop star wore red earrings adorned with 12 jewels at the 2025 Grammy Awards and in her message to fans about her legal win, she included some Easter eggs, all to do with the number 12. It's thought that the album will be showgirl-themed, as the title suggests, with rumours that Swedish producers Max Martin and Shellback could be involved. And with the colour orange playing a dominant part in the teasers so far, fans are predicting the album artwork could follow suit.

Don't lash Trump in anger: Oasis are being warned to keep their views of Donald Trump to themselves to avoid a US tour ban
Liam and Noel Gallagher are being warned to keep their views of Donald Trump to themselves to avoid jeopardizing Oasis's US tour. The rockstar brothers, about to embark on a come-back tour of Canada and the States, were advised to 'stay out of American politics'. Liam once called the US president a 'dick' while Noel labelled Mr Trump's environmental politics as 'pretty f***ing scary'. But top showbiz manager Jonathan Shalit told the Mail: 'My advice to Oasis is simple: stay out of American politics. 'If they want their US tour to go ahead without disruption, it would be wise to keep quiet on all things Trump.' The warning from Mr Shalit, chairman of InterTalent Rights Group, came after a French scientist was denied entry to US because of anti-Trump comments found on his phone. It also follows British punk rap duo Bob Vylan having their US visas revoked after their inflammatory 'kill the IDF' chants at the Glastonbury festival. In 2017, Liam said Mr Trump was 'a dick' and at the height of his feud with Noel in 2018, described his brother as 'worse than Donald Trump. 'He's the biggest liar and biggest faker in the business.' Noel himself said of Trump in 2017: 'His views on the environment are pretty f***ing scary, and that will affect my children.' But last night, Mr Shalit said: 'Like it or not, many Oasis fans are probably Trump supporters. 'I wouldn't be surprised if some MOGO ('Make Oasis Great Again') fans are also MAGA.' He added: 'More seriously, we've seen cases where individuals critical of Trump have been denied entry to the US by immigration officers. 'The stakes are higher than ever.' Another music insider said: 'Trump used to get a typical tongue-lashing from Liam. but it's gone quiet recently. 'The band believe they can really crack America this time and they know not to say anything that could put the US tour at risk.' Oasis is due to hit North America at the end of August with their US dates opening in Chicago. The band plan to make a low-key US entry via Canada. They will first play two shows at the 50,000 capacity Rogers Stadium in Toronto, beginning on August 24. It come as the brothers have since been hit with huge offers to extend their comeback to next year, including four massive shows at Knebworth House. The gigs would mark the 30th anniversary of the Britpop legends' 1996 history-making concerts and would see Noel and Liam Gallagher top Robbie Williams' record of three nights at the Hertfordshire venue. Rumours have also swirled about a potential residency at Manchester City's Etihad Stadium, with fan forums buzzing and fake posters doing the rounds online. The brothers have since been hit with huge offers to extend their comeback to next year, including four massive shows at Knebworth House. However, those close to the band insist no deals have been signed and there are no concrete plans for 2026. A source told The Sun: 'They've seen the speculation, they've heard about the offers and they know what the fans want.' They added that the reunion has become 'a cultural movement' and the brothers must now decide whether to close the book on their epic comeback or keep the magic alive. They said: 'It's ultimately up for them to decide. The Oasis reunion hasn't just been concerts. You can see that it's been a cultural movement. Nothing comes close in recent history to Oasis's shows. 'It's a question of whether Noel and Liam want to draw a line in the sand and close the door on this chapter, knowing they captured the zeitgeist. Or do they strike it up again and keep the magic going? It's a difficult decision to make.'
